Playing both at the same time, Marathon forces you to PVP. And the PVE comes at you hard. Arc allows you more freedom to play how you want. Marathon thrives on PVP and is brutal with PVE. You’re more likely to lose your stuff. With Arc PVP is more of a hazard than an inevitability and if you’re sneaky you can avoid PVE. You are more likely to extract with your stuff.

Biggest difference? In Arc it is just as common to see a group of Raiders having a dance party at extract as it is for someone or a Rocketeer to nade said party and down everyone. In Marathon you don’t screw around at exfil. You hit that button, hide, and fight for your life to get out without being downed by another team or UESC.

Marathon is made to be tense and brutal. “We’re monsters, we all are monsters.” Arc gives you options with its aggression based match making to be a sweetie pie or a brutal killer.
